Church Trends and Influences

This new page is dedicated to trends and influences in the church community and homeschool movement. These are links that I found helpful investigating the topics (some pro and con). I will be adding much more. If you have links to add to any topics, please feel free to leave a comment and I will update the list. Thanks! ~ja

Family Integrated Churches (FIC):

Defined: A family integrated church is one in which parents and children attend church services together, children stay all through church services (without attending Sunday school or children's ministries) and organised groups and activities for children and youth are non-existent. Timothy Paul Jones notes that in the family-integrated ministry model, "all age-graded classes and events are eliminated."[1] Other terms used are family discipleship churches,family-centered ministry and inclusive-congregational ministry.

My Story in a Nutshell

I began this blog in Feb. 2012 after noticing that the Google reviews I had posted of my former church were being removed. Days after the commencement of this blog, I received a legal summons suing me and three others for defamation to the tune of $500,000.
The story of spiritual abuse needs to be told. People are being hurt emotionally and spiritually by pastors who use bully tactics and we need a place to learn, to talk freely, and to heal. I will not be silenced.
****Update: 7/26/12 Case was dismissed. We won!
